Delayed Destructive Osteoarticular Infection Caused by Pasteurella multocida Following Misleading Initial Clinical Improvement: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A 35-year-old woman presented with a digital infection after exposure to cat saliva without a clearly identified bite wound. She underwent surgical debridement and received antibiotic therapy, with apparent initial clinical improvement. Despite favorable early evolution, she returned four weeks later with pain, swelling, and stiffness of the affected finger. Further evaluation revealed a destructive infection involving the proximal interphalangeal joint, requiring additional surgical management. This case highlights the potential for delayed deep-seated infection following animal-related hand injuries, even in the absence of an obvious bite and despite initial clinical improvement. Close follow-up and early consideration of osteoarticular involvement are essential to prevent functional impairment.
